We study temperature changes at the reverse strain-induced martensitic transformation in a Cu–Zn–Al single crystal. Infrared thermal imaging reveals a markedly inhomogeneous temperature distribution. The evolution of the contour temperature maps enables information to be extracted on the kinetics of the interface motion.
